More about Paper towel
Kitchen paper is one of those everyday essentials worth taking a second look at: what is it made from — and does it have to be single-use at all? This selection includes kitchen rolls, folded hand towels and roll towels from Green Hygiene, as well as the reusable bamboo kitchen roll from Pandoo.
How to recognise good kitchen paper
- The raw material: Recycled paper (rPapier) uses waste paper instead of virgin fibre — Green Hygiene's KARLA kitchen rolls are 3-ply and made from rPapier.
- How much you get: Compare sheet counts rather than roll counts: the KAI-UWE kitchen roll comes in a pack of 12 with 100 sheets per roll, while the RAINER roll towel contains 8 rolls with 450 sheets per roll.
- Single-use or reusable: Pandoo's bamboo kitchen roll contains 20 reusable cloths — so one roll replaces many conventional disposable rolls.
Our brands: why these ones
Green Hygiene gives its products first names — KAI-UWE, INGEBORG, KARLA and FRIEDA — and covers all your household paper needs, from kitchen roll supplies and folded hand towels to roll towels, including kitchen rolls made from recycled paper. Pandoo focuses on bamboo: its reusable kitchen roll with 20 cloths is the choice for anyone looking to reduce disposable paper step by step.
In practice: reducing single-use products without sacrificing convenience
In everyday life, the division of labour works well: reusable cloths handle daily wiping and drying, while conventional kitchen paper is reserved for anything that needs to go straight in the bin — such as dabbing up grease or dealing with a raw egg mishap. Folded hand towels with an N- or V-fold can be taken out one at a time, making them practical wherever lots of hands are involved — from the guest toilet to the workshop.
What does rPapier mean?
The “r” stands for recycling: the paper is made from waste paper fibres rather than fresh wood. The KARLA kitchen rolls are one example — 3-ply and made from rPapier.
How does the reusable bamboo kitchen roll work?
Pandoo's roll contains 20 bamboo cloths designed for repeated use: use, wash and reuse them — instead of sending them to the bin after one use.
Where can you find more household paper?
The full selection can be found in household paper, while you can stock up on bathroom supplies in toilet paper — and anyone looking to reduce plastic throughout the kitchen can browse reusable kitchen essentials.
